    I think it's a smoked one, good condition as I recall. Drop a mail to
    with your address and if you like it you can
    bung us a tenner or summink.

    I put a flyscreen on my SV when I got it.

    It does a good job: keeps more wind off you than you think. I'd say
    it makes cruising comfortable up to 90. between 90 and 100 is okay if
    you can 'balance your head in the wind'. After 100, it's neck muscle
    building time, although it you really want to, you can dip behind it.
    Probably looks a bit daft, though, but then foar a quick dash home late
    at night.....

    Further to my other post, mine apears to be an F.Fabbri.

    It looks a little bit bigger than the one in your link.

    CamelBak full of petrol? One of those camping water bags stuffed in a
    tank bag and filled up?

    I had a Powerbronze one on the old bike; that was fine, but I think at
    3-figure speeds it induced a slight weave - nothing too serious,
    though. It was a 600 Bandit, it never felt entirely comfortable above
    90 anyway. I've just bought a Givi screen via eBay to put on the
    1200, although I haven't located the tuits yet. I say go with it.
    Fighting the headwinds on the M6 returning from the BoSM was slightly
    less than pleasant.
